A Survey on Exploration and Classification of Osteoarthritis Using Image Processing Techniques

-Osteoarthritis is one of the prime causes of infirmity in elderly and overweight people. Osteoarthritis is a joint disease that mostly affects the cartilage. Cartilage helps the easy glide of bones and obstructs them from rubbing each other. In Osteoarthritis cartilage is ruptured due to which bones rub each other causing severe pain. The current strategy for the evaluation of Osteoarthritis includes clinical investigation & medical imaging techniques. This paper introduces a survey focusing on the various medical imaging techniques for the assessment of Osteoarthritis. This paper also discovers the X-ray imaging & Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) techniques for detection and classification of Osteoarthritis in descriptive and comparative manner. Thus an integrated discussion of various segmentation techniques, feature extraction techniques and classification schemes regarding Osteoarthritis is done and surveyed in a scientific way
